Hey everyone I have a few questions on lighting for you guys, this is what we have to work with.

Space: 2' wide, 2' deep, 4' high (can expand later on if needed)

Lighting: CFL 20(75)watt Soft White, CFL 26(100)watt Soft White CFL 26(100)watt Warm White, CFL 26(100)watt warm white and then finally this 400 watt HPS system https://www.futuregarden.com/cgi-bin/shop/30-3115.html

Now I know with the CFL lighting it is best to keep them 1" - 3" from the top of the plant but with the HPS system they should be kept 18" - 24" from the top of the plant. I'm wondering now with this setup is there enough CFL lighting to push 4 healthy plants through the veg stage or can I use the HPS system too during this time, if so how close should it be kept during veg... the way I see it is there well be way too much stretching if its kept 18+ inches away in vegitation state.
